Ulysses S. Grant, 



Tlie most illustrious citizen of the Republic he saved, 
beloved and honored of the world for his services to 
freedom and humanity, his civic virtues and his stainless 
noble character, has passed away from us. Rising to 
sublimer heights of manhood in the midst of re\erses and 
detraction, holding death at bay with the same calm 
resolution as on a hundred battle tields, while the strong, 
right arm that wielded the nation's sword forged his 
familv's future shield, with every duty done, with the 
measure of his life full rounded and with the love and 
honor of his countrymen reaching dail}' a higher appre- 
ciation of his services and character, "from the top of 
Fame's ladder he has stepped to the sky.'' 

On the dav of his death, Thursday, the 2 2,d inst., 
President CIcNeland issued the following appropriate 
proclamation: 

Tlie President of the I'nited States liris just received the sad tidings 
ot" tlie death of tliat illustrious citizen and ex-President of the United States 
General Ulvssks S. Grant, at Mount McGregor, in the State of New York, 
to which place he had lately been removed in the endeavor to prolong his life. 

In making this announcement to the people of the I'nited States, the 
President is impressed with the magnitude of the public loss of a great military 
leader who was in the hour of victory magnanimous; amid disaster serene 
and self-sustained; who in every station, whether as a soldier or a chief magis- 
trate, twice called to power by his fellow-countrymen, trod unswervingly the 
pathwav of duty undeterred by doubts, single-minded and straightforward. 
The entire country has witnessed with ileep emotion his prolonged and patient 
struggle with painful disease and has watched by his couch of suffering 
with tearful sympathy. The destined end has come at last and his spirit has 
returned to the Creator who sent J* forth. The great heart of the nation that 
followed him, when living, with love and pride, bows now in sorrow above 
him dead, tenderly mindful of hi* virtues, his great patrintir ^.rvices and of 
the loss occasioned bv his death. .
